The Same Sun
It is the same sun that
spills over the sacrilegious dance of mortars, bullets, corpses.
Over the plumes of a Muezzin’s call, and
the indifferent desert scape.
The same sun nips
at the exposed skin of men killing children, when
the choice is savagely torn from their hands,
with only sand filled dirges in its place.
It is the same sun that
mingles with the peels of youthful laughter.
The same sun that
warms the couples bathing in adoration,
uncaring of their sweat slickened hands.
The same sun binds the ecstasy life posses,
and a gratuitous hell, only imagined by many.
